I Agree....
Rock music is evil music, it will never enter into my household... But Geologist should listen to the rocks......
Michael
I am encouraged by your stance! Phil.4:8 springs to mind!
In a nutshell, why is rock music evil? the lyrics? the beat?I Agree....
Rock music is evil music, it will never enter into my household...
I will be the first to teach that if you are going to write music to contain a theological message, make sure the style is right to carry the weight of the message.
Handel's Messiah is, for me, the ultimate representation of Christian music. It gives a clear presentation of the gospel and the music carries the weight of the message perfectly.
So musical style is important but the question of this post is this:
are there resources that demonstrate that the genre/style of rock music is inherently wrong or evil?
inherent - existing in someone or something as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute
I agree Michael that rock and rap artists have breathed new life into the p*rn industry. It breaks my heart and angers me to no end. But this has happened because deviants and perverts have used the medium to propagate their lusts and try to validate their abhorrent behavior. It's sick, it's dangerous. There is an ocean of filth within the rock and rap industry.
I do not see where the music itself is inherently wrong. Let's keep looking for some freebie sources for brother Mark. Michael I appreciate your passion and diligence in clearly sharing your convictions on this issue.
Michael, you are speaking of what goes on in worship and I can't agree with you more. I've seen the same things. I've been in music groups, solo entertainer, I've written musicals, I've performed in many churches and venues. Let's step away from worship and the RPW.
It seems like you're saying that rock music is wrong because it makes you want to move. So are you also saying that dancing is a sin?
I had to break up a porch made of thick concrete a few years ago. It would have been a near impossible task but using a 20lb sledge and Megadeth's Rust In Peace I crushed that porch like superman. Yes it pumped my adrenaline and made me move - that was the point.
Oh, oh, I think we might have crossed the point and we are debating. Sorry Mark, hopefully a little debating will stimulate those free resources we are looking for.
The term "Rock" is overly broad and unhelpfully vague, and I would object to such sweeping generalizations as "rock music is audio sex." While some may well be, obviously much is not. I realize this thread is not for debate, so I will try not to start any. I simply thought it might be good to balance some of the opinion in this thread. Obviously, good Christians will disagree on this issue.
Out of curiosity though, how do those who oppose "rock" feel about Country, Jazz, or Bluegrass?
